I often hear people in tech complaining that the industry is oversaturated and they can't find a job but let's be real about this:
The entry-level resume pile is oversaturated with people who have a theoretical degree or a paper cert but have never actually touched a terminal, built a home lab, or popped a box. HR departments are flooded with thousands of identical, low-effort applications.
There is a catastrophic shortage of people who have a deeply ingrained offensive mindset, who understand networking down to the packet level, and who can look at a custom enterprise system and figure out how it fails.
Regardless of whether you love or hate AI, we are in a high-stakes tech race where our adversaries are operating with zero ethical speed brakes, and Silicon Valley’s response is to gatekeep the very tools that could turn raw tech savvy students into elite defenders at scale.
You can't even ask AI how to tweak a simple reverse shell without it panicking and saying "I can't help you hack the mAiNfRaMe and destroy the entire grid." As if the feds wouldn't be at some script kiddies door within minutes if they dared touch critical infrastructure or as if enterprise environments don't have robust EDR and network segmentation in place. They really act like APTs are asking AI how to learn ethical hacking, treating a simple Python script that is less than 10 lines of code like a piece of precision-engineered, state-sponsored cyber-weaponry designed to spin centrifuges out of control (Stuxnet 2.0).
We're really shooting ourselves in the foot. Our adversaries aren't using Anthropic, ChatGPT, Gemini, etc. to learn how to make reverse shells or priv esc exploits for sandboxed CTFs to prepare for the field. They have AI pipelines that don't have guardrails and APTs that are already hacking into our telecom companies, healthcare networks, etc. Who is big tech really helping here? Certainly not us.
Look, I am not really even the biggest fan of AI (and obviously not a fan of big tech) but if I can crunch 8 hours of learning down into 1 hour, why wouldn't I? I'll still spend the 8 hours learning some new concept without the force multiplier because this is what I am passionate about and what I am studying for but the amount of security theater I see from big tech absolutely gets on my nerves. In fact, I think because I have learned so much about cybersecurity is exactly why it annoys me that much more. Watching a multi-billion dollar AI panic over a 10-line Python socket connection feels like being treated like a child by someone who doesn't even understand basic syntax.
I guess I'll have to just #RTFM so some skript kiddie doesn't cause a catastrophic blackout ... #sarcasm 🙄

🚁🗽 Oh, joy! An "electric air taxi" buzzed around #JFK, and we're supposed to care. 🥱 Let's all pretend this isn't another corporate PR #stunt that will fizzle faster than a New York minute. 📉

Ich habe Mitleid mit den PR-Abteilungen von Unternehmen wie Meta, TikTok & Co. Die Mitarbeitenden wissen genau, wie problematisch ihre Firmen eigentlich sind, müssen aber trotzdem nach außen hin ein positives Bild verkaufen. Es muss zermürbend sein, ständig zwischen Realität und Fassade zu jonglieren.

The parallels are too glaring...
I'm wondering how corporate talking points worm their way into the grass roots organic movement.
